A Nut with Character
Peanuts have a firm structure and a rich, distinctive flavor, making them a widely used ingredient in the food industry.
Traditionally consumed as an affordable energy source, they are now valued for their high content of protein, healthy fats, and B vitamins.
Thanks to their processing resilience and excellent shelf life, peanuts are used in various industrial forms – as whole kernels, paste, or flour.
Originally from South America, peanuts are now primarily exported (based on five-year average data) from China (35%), India (13%), Nigeria (9%), and the United States (5%).
